f-spot import folder structure wrong time zone

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

Sorry for the delayed details.
- Dell Latitude D800
- Dual boot with Windows XP. (the real time clock is set up US Pacific)
- Digital camera (Canon Power Shot S2) with local time setting
- Used to have Ubuntu 6.06, with fresh install from live CD of up to Ubuntu 9.10 always importing old home directory from the time that was possible

Operation:
- When plug in Camera on USB port, import F-Spot wizard starts
- I import all the photos into /home/me/Photos
I expect it to show up in F-Spot with the correct time stamp and in the file structure according to that (/home/me/Photos/yyyy/mm/dd) as it used to be.

- Now F-Spot pictures shows photo time stamp 7 hours later than the meta data in the file (meta data is correct). The 7 hours offset is true for Halloween 2009 pictures. 8 hours for Dec,31 2008. 7 h Apri, 5th 2008, .....
- if I look at the location of the picture, it imported it into the structure /home/me/Photos/yyyy/mm/dd according to the F-Spot time.

I would expect that the import code reads the meta data of the file and uses this as the true time stamp, since they are set for local time. (not adding some GMT offset)

I could not find any configuration that would explain what I see.

Thanks for the extra info. It seems I missed out on asking you to do an apport-collect. Could you run "apport-collect 411229" in terminal so that all the basic info gets attached? Thanks a lot and sorry to miss that out

Your problem actually seems to be a duplicate of bug #175191. There is a patch attached. If you know how to do it, there is a PPA that implements the patch at https://launchpad.net/~smcgrath23/+archive/smcgrath

If you're not sure how to use a PPA, do reply back asking for assistance.

I have the problem. I use F-Spot 0.6.1.5 on Ubuntu 10.04.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

- Closing papercut since Shotwell will be the default application in Maverick
For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.

Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.
